Why Choose the IMO RL105G Photoelectric Sensor Reflector?
The IMO RL105G is a rectangular reflector for use with compatible retroreflective photoelectric sensors. It returns the sensor's emitted light towards the receiver, forming the optical path used to detect objects passing between the sensor and reflector.
A retroreflective arrangement places the emitter and receiver in the same sensor housing, with the passive reflector installed opposite. This allows electrical wiring to remain on the sensor side of the detection point, simplifying layouts where a powered receiver would be inconvenient.
The RL105G measures 95 × 38 × 6.7 mm, providing a slim rectangular format for machine installation. The exact product listing confirms these dimensions; sensing distance depends on the compatible sensor and the completed installation.
Key Advantages
- Provides the optical return target for a compatible sensor.
- Passive operation requires no electrical supply at the reflector.
- Allows sensor wiring to remain on one side of the detection path.
- Slim profile supports installation where depth is limited.
- Suitable for new sensing installations and replacement of matching reflectors.
- Supports non-contact object detection when paired with suitable equipment.
Key Features
- IMO photoelectric sensing accessory.
- Rectangular reflector format.
- 95 × 38 mm overall face dimensions.
- 6.7 mm overall depth.
- Used opposite a compatible retroreflective sensor.
- No electrical output or programming requirement.
Optical Detection for Industrial Automation
In a retroreflective sensing system, the sensor projects light towards a reflector and monitors the returned beam. An object crossing the optical path changes the received signal, allowing the sensor to produce a switching output according to its configuration.
Reliable detection depends on sensor compatibility, alignment, mounting stability and a clean reflective surface. The reflector does not determine the sensing range on its own; the sensor specification and target characteristics must also be considered.
Typical Applications
- Object detection on conveyor systems.
- Carton and package presence monitoring.
- Product counting with compatible photoelectric sensors.
- Material handling and transfer stations.
- Position detection in automated machinery.
- Replacement of matching reflectors during maintenance.
